I stayed at Morar St Andrews for respite, following a knee operation, and I would return should the occasion arise. It was a delightful stay!
Thank you so much for your kind words. We're delighted to hear that your respite stay with Morar Living in St Andrews was such a positive experience following your knee operation.
Supporting our guests through their recovery and ensuring they feel comfortable, well cared for, and truly at home...
I was so happy to see my dad at Morar the difference in him in just a few days was very impressive. Previous to him arriving there we all thought he didn't have much longer to live. From the first day he was more alert and looked very happy, after 4 days on, he is loving life again.The nursing care here is impressive. From the manager on to all the rest of the staff they go above and beyond with his care. For the first time in months, we feel happy when we leave because we know he is well cared for.
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience. Your words truly mean the world to our team.
We are absolutely delighted to hear about the positive difference you've seen in your dad in such a short time. Seeing him more alert, happy, and enjoying life again is exactly what we...
My husband has been in Morar @ St Andrews for a few days, and the improvement in his mood and physical ability is amazing from 2 months of suffering elsewhere; he now says he feels safe. The care is exceptional. The comfort is also 5-star. The manager and staff go above and beyond to see that my husband's needs are met fully. Also, the same applies to mine and my families. At last, I can breathe again, and I am absolutely confident that when I leave, he is in excellent hands.
Thank you so much for your incredibly kind and thoughtful words. It truly means a great deal to our entire team to hear about the positive difference your husband's stay at Morar at St Andrews has made.
We are delighted to know that he is feeling safe, comfortable, and supported - that sense of...
Everything I have seen and experienced at Morar St Andrews has been outstanding. I could not imagine a more comfortable, welcoming, and wonderful home for my mum. The staff are clearly dedicated, and highly capable of delivering respectful, compassionate care-but Morar goes above and beyond. There is genuine warmth and humour, and I truly feel that my mum is loved and cherished here. Food, activities (and indeed all aspects of care) are being thoughtfully tailored to mum's own needs, wherever possible, and as a result she has developed a renewed sense of fulfilment. The wonderful staff have helped bring a big smile to my mum's face and a twinkle to her eyes. Knowing that she is so settled and happy has made an immense difference to my own life too-and I could ask for no more.
Our team is deeply committed to providing compassionate, person-centred...
Love all the staff, feel like a family. Activities are picking up, which is great, and once more staff start for activities. I'll be ticking excellent.
Thank you, Hannah, for taking the time to leave such a kind and thoughtful review. Your lovely words truly mean a great deal to us, and it's wonderful to know that the care and support provided have made a positive difference for your mum and your family. Feedback like yours is very encouraging for...
My dad Ian moved in a few months ago. It took him a while to settle but he is now doing really well with the support of the staff at Morar. In particular Nurse Lesley has been absolutely excellent with dad and me! Thank you Leslie for your care and support.
Thank you so much for taking the time to review Morar at St Andrews, we really appreciate your comments. I will make sure the staff and Lesley are aware of the kind comments you have made about them. It is our pleasure to care for your dad at our faciity.
Minimum of care standards not met, complaints from October still awaiting investigation including waist strap on chair not fastened. Unexplained injuries not investigated, hydration levels below minimum levels two thirds of the time according to records sent by email, injury from uncut nails days after we highlighted this and the care home said nail cutting was their responsibility. Diet not consistent with level 5 and 6 causing risk of choking. Being left in a state of undress for hours, not being moved frequently enough to protect skin. Complaints raised repeatedly from August to December about the care plan not being followed. Eventually we moved dad due to ongoing issues.
I acknowledge review, however i am unable to comment on individual cases due to present investigation.
We have been impressed by the staff who are friendly, efficient and always find time to speak with us. The level of cleanliness throughout is very good. There is a wide range of interesting activities which cater for all abilities.
Thank you for your review, it is greatly appreciated. I will make sure to highlight to the team that their friendliness is appreciated, that they work hard to maintain the cleanliness within the home and that the activities are appreciated. Thank you again.
Equally, the staff is quite wonderful, professional, kind and conscientious. All staff members have the residents health and welfare at heart and I cant praise them enough.
